Comptia A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide: Exams 220-901 & 220-902

I ordered this book from Amazon India and after a long wait of 15 days it was brought to me via import as the local printed version was not available in domestic market, i guess i am the first one on the Amazon India to order this book. I started reading this book as soon as i got it and i think It's the best book available in the market for those who want to get CompTIA A+ certification, its very well organised and easy to read, all the topics in the book were listed according to latest CompTIA exam objectives for both 220-901 and 220-902 exams. I really like the way Mike Meyres writes and explains different topics which makes reading this book more enjoyable. I am still reading this book and i haven't finished reading it yet, as its a big book and surely it will take time. I will update my review when i will complete the book. If you are studying for the 220-901 and 220-902 exams that make up the A+ certification then, I would highly recommend this book.

As expected but feeling the price is costly

The book is good for absolute beginners and for someone who wants to consolidate their knowledge about hardware, software and networks essentials in details and to understand all that even better and of course to take exam and get their certificate. The book has a lot of explanations, examples, and is written in good understandable way.In my opinion a bit bad side of the book is that it is in black and white. If the pictures would be in colour it would be even more better and clearer for the beginners to see what they need to look for and what looks how in real life.The other thing is that the exam discount code has expired, and it clearly says that it is valid until December 31, 2017, and i can see that i'm not the only one with this problem.

This is not a book you read cover to cover, it's a reference book that goes alongside your studies/work. If you are trying to read this cover to cover, you will feel it's a lot to get through or that the author waffles. Using this as a reference book alongside my online A+ studies, I have found the defitions and chapters to be very succint and informative, better than my online materials! Excellent study book, very clear print with quality paper, generous margins, and it looks lovely too.The fact this book actually manages to cram everything from total beginner to advanced is in fact an impressive feat more than a downside!

Preparing to update my IT skills, in order to fully enjoy my hobby of upgrading gaming PCs and with a view to re entering the IT industry (albeit at a low level), have decided to invest in Mr Meyers' offering, as I like his easy, yet informative delivery of what can be a complex subject,along with study tips, demystifying the process.Once I have gained 90% proficiency with this edition, I will then buy the latest edition, then using that as a final review will book and sit the Exams.Highly recommended.

Although the book gives more information than needed for the A+, it does it in a way that fills out the narrative so that you get a better understanding of the topic. Rather than just hit you with a bunch of facts to learn.There are a few times when you feel 'well that escalated quickly', like around chapter 12 where you go from this is a keyboard, a mouse, a hard drive to suddenly setting permissions and learning command lines.I think this is because of what's on the A+ rather than how the author would write it if he was writing a straight guide to computers.All in all, the book keeps being interesting when read front to back on first read through. And has enough notes and tips that you can take more interest in and take your own notes on for subsequent readings.I wish I'd bought this book a year ago instead of 4 weeks ago as my exam is in a few weeks so am cramming it a bit.

The ultimate guide for the A+ exams and teaches you a lot more besides. The accompanying CD includes an Adobe Digital Editions version of the book so you can read it on a computer screen if you prefer it or need to. This book and previous editions will remain on my reference shelf for years to come.
